ROCK BAND VIBES - GROUP 1

This is a YOUTH event. Attendees must be aged between 12 and 22.

Rock Band Vibes is a beginner-friendly crash course on playing in a real band. In each 2.5-hour workshop, participants rotate through guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and keys, then pick a role and get to work.

We start right at the basics so everyone can get an easy win straight away, even if they have never played an instrument before. From there, participants can stretch as far as they like, picking parts that offer the right challenge.

We build a simple, popular song section-by-section, focusing on timing, teamwork, and confidence, and finish with a performance run-through so everyone feels ready.

There’ll also be 1–2 youth mentors on hand throughout the session to help everyone settle in, learn the basics, and feel stage-ready. They will support with things like setting up gear, switching instruments, keeping the group on track during rehearsals, and giving calm encouragement before the Jam Night performance.

This workshop runs from 10am - 12.30 pm in the Marramarra Makerspace. Participants will then return for an evening Jam Night, where the workshop bands and other young performers can jump on stage, share what they have learned, and be part of a supportive live music experience.

Jam Night preparation as follows:

5pm - rehearsal in the Library

6pm - Jam Night in the Library

Please ONLY book in for ONE group session and for Jam Night.
